Journal ArticleDOI
Search for past life on Mars: possible relic biogenic activity in martian meteorite ALH84001.
David S. McKay,Everett K. Gibson,Kathie L. Thomas-Keprta,Hojatollah Vali,Christopher S. Romanek,Simon J. Clemett,Xavier D. F. Chillier,C. R. Maechling,Richard N. Zare +8 more
TL;DR: High-resolution scanning and transmission electron microscopy study of surface textures and internal structures of selected carbonate globules show that the globules contain fine-grained, secondary phases of single-domain magnetite and iron sulfides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indigenous Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Circumstellar Graphite Grains from Primitive Meteorites
Scott Messenger,Scott Messenger,Sachiko Amari,X. Gao,Robert M. Walker,Simon J. Clemett,Xavier D. F. Chillier,Xavier D. F. Chillier,Richard N. Zare,Roy S. Lewis +9 more
TL;DR: This article reported the measurement of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in individual graphite grains extracted from two primitive meteorites, Murchison and Acfer 094.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of indigenous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in 'giant' carbonaceous antarctic micrometeorites
Simon J. Clemett,Xavier D. F. Chillier,S. Gillette,Richard N. Zare,M. Maurette,C. Engrand,Gero Kurat +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that ‘giant’ micrometeorites survive hypervelocity (≥11 km s_1) atmospheric entry unexpectedly well and may have played a significant role in the prebiotic chemical evolution of the early Earth through the delivery of complex organic matter to the surface of the planet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for the extraterrestrial origin of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the Martian meteorite ALH84001
Simon J. Clemett,Maria T. Dulay,J. Seb Gillette,Xavier D. F. Chillier,Tania B. Mahajan,Richard N. Zare +5 more
TL;DR: Possible sources of terrestrial contamination are considered for the observation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the Martian meteorite ALH84001 and contamination is concluded to be negligible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Luminescence from Vacuum-Ultraviolet-irradiated Cosmic Ice Analogs and Residues
Murthy S. Gudipati,Jason P. Dworkin,Jason P. Dworkin,Jason P. Dworkin,Xavier D. F. Chillier,Xavier D. F. Chillier,Louis J. Allamandola +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical luminescence properties for a variety of vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV)- irradiated cosmic ice analogs and the complex organic residues produced were investigated.
